I did weeks of research. I narrowed it down to a couple, and then I got a great deal saving $200 through Amazon.

A consultant from the manufacturer informed me about the deal. It came quickly with free shipping, and I put it together in about an hour. The workout is great.

The RX-750 is truly awesome! The rower I intended to purchase was more expensive and at least 5 inches too long (and tall when standing) to fit its designated space. After finding the RX-750, seeing the price, and reading the reviews, I just had to buy it.

I work out 45 minutes a day, 5 days per week and love it! It is awesome to row along with the “wooshing” water, though I also get a soft knocking sound at times, but it is nicely rhythmic. I switch around the position of my hands thinking, not knowing, that

I can work my arms differently (hand facing up working biceps, hands facing down working triceps, and one facing up while the other faces down for variety). Of course, I have no idea if this actually works, but it helps pass the time as does good music!

Just FYI-it is shipped in 2 boxes and doesn’t necessarily come with a heart rate monitor. I suggest purchasing a monitor if you are serious about reaching your recommended heart rate for an optimal aerobic workout, and the RX-750 manufacturer has one that is well priced compared to other products.

I have been eyeing a water rower for 4 years now. This seemed to be the right quality at the right price. I’ve had it a few weeks now and I just love it. The metal frame is heavy duty and sturdy, yet I have no problems lifting up the machine to stand it in the corner of my room when I’m not using it.

Assembly was nothing more than attaching the rail to the main structure with some bolts and adding the water. I’m a 38 year old female with average mechanical abilities and was able to get it assembled within an hour which includes unpacking, checking for all parts, reading all instructions first, assembling and filling the tank. I’m sure the fellas could do it in half the time.

Anyway, the display is large and gives a lot of good information along with some simple programs, like ability to set a workout timer, etc. I didn’t buy the heart rate tracker so I can’t comment on that function.

When you first start rowing, you think this seems too easy. But within the first few minutes you start feeling your thighs, abs, and back muscles starting to heat up. Try keeping that stroke per minute at 21 or higher for a half hour and you will feel it for sure!

I’ve been dieting and exercising for 3 weeks now and I’ve lost about 15 pounds. Now that’s results for a girl who’s always been a size 14/16 her entire life. By the time beach weather rolls around, I know I will be looking better than I ever have.

I am writing my review about 6 months after purchasing this rower.

I am extremely satisfied with my purchase, but felt compelled to write my belated review only after experiencing an issue with the equipment and getting great customer service. First of all, I must say that this is one sturdy piece of equipment that is very easy to assemble and set up.

I am a novice rower, but quickly learned how to use the equipment and found the workouts to be extremely satisfying. I was amazed at how complete the workout felt after only 15-20 minutes. My only vice is that the display seems a little cheap, but I really only use the timer and HR monitor and they both work just fine.

I was gradually working my way up to longer work outs, when I experienced a break in the bungee cord that provides tension on the pulley that collects the row belt. The cord became pinched and ultimately snapped. The company provides a 2 year warranty, so I sent an email on a Sunday afternoon and got an email response from the president within a couple of hours. By the end of the week, I received a new cord and replaced it within minutes.

While this kind of customer service is expected for such a high end piece of equipment, it seems like it’s becoming ever more rare these days.

Overall, I am extremely happy with my purchase, and with the work out that I get from this machine. Knowing that they stand behind their equipment is a testament to me that Healthcare Int’l is also a great company.

Make sure you get two tracking numbers, because this item ships in two SEPERATE boxes

This will help if you only get one package at a time (this happened to me) and Amazon will show your order as complete. Amazon has no idea, even though I told them and so has the manufacture.

The rower is great, though, and the sound the water makes adds to the effect. Get a seperate heart monitor if this is important to you, otherwise the monitor will do fine. Have only had for about 3 weeks and hope to have much longer. Appears to be well built.
